Minecraft servers can run mods for any available mod loaders; these mods often come included in modpacks. However, some users may wish to upload custom mods not contained within a particular pack. Uploading custom mods allows users to choose the content on their servers more freely and is a fantastic way to continue evolving a server. Not all mods are compatible with each Minecraft version, so always verify what each mod requires.
